Edward Everett Hale (1893-1975) was an economist, government official, labor
arbitrator and University of Texas at Austin Professor of Economics and Chairman of
the University of Texas Department of Economics. Before joining the University of
Texas, he served as a director of the San Antonio Branch of the Federal Reserve Bank
of Dallas (1948-1950).

The Edward Everett Hale Papers, 1947-1950, contain documents produced and accumulated
by Hale while he was a member of the Board of Directors of the San Antonio Branch of
the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas. The material concerns the routine activities of
the Board, as well as data and analysis relating to the banking, commercial,
industrial, and agricultural sectors of the economy of the area served by the
Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas.

Monthly reports contain general information as to the status of leading industries in
Texas, and correspondence relates generally to planning of board meetings. The
collection also includes addresses, circulars, correspondence, financial statements,
memoranda, and statistics.

Basic processing and cataloging of this collection was supported with funds from the
National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) for the Briscoe
Center’s “History Revealed: Bringing Collections to Light project,” 2009-2011.
